A wealthy businessman encounters a beggar with two children and realizes he knows her. His response stuns everyone around
Despite their complicated pasts, he felt there was something special between them, something worth exploring. In the weeks to come, these feelings would only grow harder to ignore. The nights in Logan’s mansion grew increasingly quiet.
After long days of work and play with Harper and Hazel, Olivia often found herself lost in deep reflection. Sitting on the edge of her bed with the lights dimmed, she thought about how much her life had changed. Yet, even surrounded by Logan’s comfort and support, a shadow of the past still lingered over her.
That night, Logan couldn’t sleep either. He sat in the living room, staring at the flickering fire in the fireplace, his thoughts revolving around Olivia. Something about the way she withdrew at times troubled him.
He knew they needed to have an honest conversation about what they were both feeling to move forward. The next morning, as Harper and Hazel played in the garden, Logan took the opportunity to approach Olivia. She was in the kitchen, organizing the groceries that had just arrived.
Logan entered quietly, observing her for a moment before speaking. Olivia, can we talk? She paused, sensing from his tone that this wasn’t an ordinary conversation. Of course, what is it? Logan gestured for her to follow him to the living room.
They sat down and he began. There’s something I’ve wanted to say for a while, but I wasn’t sure how. Olivia leaned forward slightly, her heart starting to race.
What is it? I deeply admire your strength and resilience, but I can see that you’re still carrying a lot of guilt. I think it’s time for you to let it go. She looked away, his words striking a sensitive chord.
Logan, I know I’ve made a lot of mistakes in the past. I made choices that brought me here, and sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve the life you’re offering me. Logan shook his head.
No one is perfect, Olivia. We all make mistakes, but you’ve been doing everything you can to overcome your challenges. You deserve this and so much more.
His words felt like a soothing balm on wounds she had hidden for so long. Olivia took a deep breath, realizing it was time to confront her insecurities. Logan, I’ve never apologized for how I treated you when we were younger.
I was selfish and immature, and I didn’t see the value of the people around me. I hurt you, and I’m sorry for that. Logan was silent for a moment, taking in her words.
Finally, he said, Olivia, the past doesn’t matter anymore. We’ve both changed, and what matters now is what we’re building together. I forgive you, and I hope you can forgive yourself.
Tears welled in Olivia’s eyes, but this time they weren’t from sadness. It felt as if a tremendous weight was being lifted from her shoulders. She looked at Logan, who met her gaze with calm understanding.
Thank you, Logan, for everything. You don’t need to thank me. I’m here because I want to be.
That moment marked the start of a new chapter for them. The tension from the past began to fade, and they both felt they could finally open up to each other fully. In the days that followed, Olivia noticed a lightness in her heart she hadn’t felt in years…
